[training] Understanding Paragraph Types

This page shows you how to add different kinds of paragraph types that can be used on content in pages.

View Examples of Paragraph Types

Please note: A few special varieties of paragraph types have special instructions and will be discussed separately. Those include:

Calendly
Blocks
Views

Text

Text is just that - text. Using a WYSIWYG editor, users can add blocks of text and image content. The text on this page is created using a Text paragraph type.

Media

Media refers to your Media Library, or the items that are stored in the Media Library such as icons, photos, documents, etc. You can add media in different places on the site, or link to it directly in the Media Library.

Button Group

A button group is a stylized group of buttons that you can use in cases where you'd like to give users options for more than one place to go.

Blockquote

Since writing on the web is short and to the point, blockquotes on the web are intended to bring attention to a particular short statement. This is different from how blockquotes are used in standard writing, to indicate a quote longer than four sentences.

Profile

A profile is where you can introduce yourself, your agents, or your agency with a photograph, some contact information and some biographical text.

Add Icon Block

Bring attention to short, important points of interest with an icon block. Place an image behind your icon blocks, or see how you like it without. For microsites, neutrally colored images are usually better.

Hero

The hero image is often the main focal point of the homepage, containing vibrant imagery and curated calls-to-action.

NOTE: Images with 16:9 aspect ratio and in somewhat high definition will look best on the site. Try to avoid images that have writing on them, as the hero image will put writing over the top as well, which can be difficult for accessibility and usability.
